Form & Verdict
Was gaining a second win on the Flat when scoring over 1m4f at Roscommon recently off mark of 63 (good); 0-5 hurdling last season when quite highly-tried, showing useful level of form on much softer ground; clearly in good heart and this looks his best opportunity yet.

Dual-purpose 5yo gained his third win on the Flat in 1m5f Navan handicap in April, okay run in better-class Curragh contest following month; hurdles win came in 2m1f maiden here last summer, soft ground was probably against him in subsequent handicaps; back on better ground here could go well if taking to chasing.
